For most games yes, but not all of them, 7000 is also gonna be better for productivity than vcache version, x3d is very good in certain games like msfs, start citizen, grand strategy games, but if you’re someone who uses a pc for work and sometimes play games, 7000 series is a better option, it will also probably get a price cut right before x3d comes out. Anyway, i’m excited for it, i will probably be part of my next build, i currently have 3800x and while it’s a very good cpu, getting someting like 7700x3d or 7900x3d would be a big jump in msfs.
